A downhole well tool shown in the form of an orienting tool (OT) has mandrel (16) with helical grooves (16a) thereon and a tubular member (20) which telescopically receives the mandrel (16). Keys (22) on tubular member (22) engage in the grooves (16a). Mandrel (16) is connected with nonrotatable coil tubing (t) and member (20) is connected to a bottom hole assembly (BHA) which may comprise a plurality of components or a single device to form a well tool. The orienting tool (OT) and downhole assembly (BHA) constitute an orienting assembly, for orienting a device such as a drill bit (13) to drill a deviated well bore, including a horizontal well bore, to a desired target area. Downhole instruments relay to the surface equipment (1) the azimuth, inclination and tool face of the directional drilling equipment. |
